Their work involves managing the visitor experience whilst international tourists are in the country. Wholesalers develop and supply inclusive tour packages and accommodation through retail travel agents who sell on to consumers. They often sell to other elements of the Travel Trade such as tour and coach operators and not directly to consumers.

Incoming tour operators basically offer the same services as ground handlers although they are more likely to offer their own programmes and not essentially custom-made programmes. They may also get involved with actually getting the clients here in the first place i.e. booking their flights where as a ground handler only gets involved once they arrive in the UK.
